Growing up as a child, every Saturday morning, my dad
would take us to antique shops to scour the shelves for old manuscripts
and first edition books. That tradition endured until adulthood when my
brothers and I would pile into my car and spend the day cruising flea
markets and tag sales.

One morning I purchased a lovely old cedar chest and to
my delight I lifted the cover to find it filled to the brim with antique
linen sheets and pillowcases from Italy. I believe my linen career began
on that day almost 40 years ago! I'll never forget the sweet aroma of
the antique linen. It was better than the finest perfume in the world!

I couldn't
help but think of all the endless hours of hand-work that went into
creating the beautiful lace trims and how happy that person would be to
know that someone would be enjoying and appreciating their efforts once
again.

After
restoring these items to near perfection, I felt that I had
"resurrected" a piece of the past and brought it back to life again.
This began a new career and a passion for me (some might even say an
obsession) for finding and restoring these wonderful pieces of art, each
piece representing centuries of skilled and talented needlework.

The rewards of
giving new life to these fine linens and re-purposing them for future
use, has brought overwhelming rewards and gratification. My linens have
found their way into movie sets, magazines, and homes of numerous
celebrities. They have graced the homes of so many wonderful customers
who purchase them at shows.

I am so grateful for all the people
who appreciate these fine treasures and who will continue the tradition
by passing them on to the next generation. There is a story behind each
piece of linen and a little piece of someone's life that created it. I
am privileged to be part of it!

Sorry, we do not print a Catalog. It would not be cost-effective for us,
or meaningful to our customers to attempt to print and maintain a
catalog. Most of our antique linens that we offer for sale at our shows
are unique, one of a kind items. When they are sold they are gone.
For this simple reason we do not attempt to catalog our inventory.
